These Harry Potter posters blew me away. The audacity of almost totally obscuring the title is unheard of in the (mostly) tired, formulaic medium of the film poster. There's many other iterations of this, including some that obscure the title even more.

Sh*tty

Ripping off another design is just stupid. What's worse is that there's actually another version of this poster that doesn't show her legs. If anyone has an image of that version, post a link or send it in.

Very good Su! I have such well informed readers. Of course, one could easily say that both are more than inspired by the Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact (which I suspect is also not the first time a half-finished robot babe has been suspended from the ceiling in the history of sci-fi imagery). Either way, it's safe to say this idea has been well tread upon.
